Tropical print summer nails

17 Jun 2014

Hey Beauties!

Lately, I've been buying way too much summer wardrobe and I started noticing the so popular tropical prints. Now, I'm not big on prints on my clothes, but on my nails - always. I guess, to each his own. Today's nail art is inspired by one of the swimsuits from Asos. I found the print searching online for some interesting tropical themed prints, that I could recreate on my nails.

I decided to put tropical print only on two fingers and that's the middle and ring finger. I put as a base a black nail polish, with tiny blue glitter in it.

Then I used emerald green nail polish to create these palm like plants. I used orange nail polish to create a few orange flowers (please don't ask me which flowers are these, because I'm really bad with flower names). I added bigger flowers with pinkish red nail polish.

Then I continued to layer violet shade smaller flowers and after that a bit bigger daisies inspired white flowers. I finished with a top coat.

I think the print is pretty easy and what makes a difference is layering those plants on top of each other. It doesn't need to be very precise, because I think the pattern allows the mistakes to still look pretty. Here's my original inspiration.

On the thumb and index finger I put on the pinkish red nail polish that I used to make bigger flowers. On the pinky I just used a black polish, which was a base for the topical nail art. You can use any shade that was used in the tropical print.
